About Me….

Fine art has provided me with the creative outlet I require in order to properly function since childhood. I am inspired by a feeling or visual cue almost every day, and creating art is the most natural response to that inspiration. With degrees in both photography and graphic design, I struggled to find my artistic “voice” and medium until discovering encaustic (wax) painting and collage in 2005. Texture, depth, and color (or lack of) are very important aspects of my work, and my paintings and prints are typically created from a combination of encaustic paint and medium, found papers and fabric, cold wax, watercolour, and acrylic. A huge fan of abstraction and “happy accidents”, I love the meditative and sensory experience of working with wax. It allows me to incorporate the “messy, yet graphic” feeling that I have always been attracted to in art that I like into the art that I make. Plus, it smells good.
